Co-60 gamma irradiation effects on physical, chemical and electrical characteristics of HfO2/Si thin films have been investigated in details. The variations on the crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the films under irradiation exposures were characterized by using X-ray diffractions (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements. The irradiation influences on the electrochemical structure of the films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for various depths of the HfO2/Si films. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) and Conductance-voltage (C-V) measurements were performed to study electrical characterization. The correlations through physical, chemical and electrical characteristics have also been discussed in details. The results show that crystallization of the HfO2 thin films and their surface roughness values have been enhanced slightly with increasing in irradiation doses. The passivation of the dangling bonds and generation of the possible trap centers have been observed under the irradiation exposures in XPS measurements. The electrical characteristics of the films slightly change with the irradiation exposures. The results show that the passivation has crucial effects on the radiation tolerance of the HfO2 thin films.

Degradation of poly(bisphenol-a-epichlorohydrin) by gamma irradiation Ozdemir, Tonguc; Usanmaz, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) In this study, radiation stability of poly(bisphenol-a-epichloroliydrin) (PBEH) was studied via gamma irradiations at two different dose rates of 1540 and 82.8 Gy/h, in order to understand the possible use of PBEH in radioactive waste management as a solidifying agent. The total dose of irradiation was up to 2150kGy. Degradation nature was tested by studying the changes in mechanical and thermal properties with the change of dose rate and total dose of irradiation. Tensile strength at yield was increased fi...
Treatment of opium alkaloid containing wastewater in sequencing batch reactor (SBR)-Effect of gamma irradiation Bural, Cavit B.; Demirer, Goksel N.; Kantoglu, Omer; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (Elsevier BV, 2010-04-01) Aerobic biological treatment of opium alkaloid containing wastewater as well as the effect of gamma irradiation as pre-treatment was investigated. Biodegradability of raw wastewater was assessed in aerobic batch reactors and was found highly biodegradable (83-90% degradation). The effect of irradiation (40 and 140 kGy) on biodegradability was also evaluated in terms of BOD5/COD values and results revealed that irradiation imparted no further enhancement in the biodegradability. Despite the highly biodegrada...
Gamma irradiation degradation/modification of 5-ethylidene 2-norbornene (ENB)-based ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) depending on ENB content of EPDM and type/content of peroxides used in vulcanization Ozdemir, Tonguc (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) In this study, the radiation degradation/modification of the vulcanized EPDM and the effects of dose rate, peroxide type/content in vulcanization system and ENB content of EPDM were studied to investigate the change in the extend of the modification/degradation of the mechanical properties of vulcanized EPDM via gamma irradiation. In addition, thermal, dynamic mechanical, ATR-FTIR, TGA, TGA-FTIR tests were carried out to understand the change of properties of vulcanized EPDM via irradiation. Samples were ir...
Space radiation environment and radiation hardness assurance tests of electronic components to be used in space missions Amutkan, Özge; Esendemir, Akif; Department of Physics (2010) Space radiation is significantly harmful to electronic Components. The operating time, duration and orbit of the space mission are affected by the characteristic of the radiation environment. The aging and the performance of the electronic components are modified by radiation. The performance of the space systems such as electronic units, sensors, power and power subsystem units, batteries, payload equipments, communication units, remote sensing instruments, data handling units, externally located units, an...
Radiation grafting of various water-soluble monomers on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder: Part I. Grafting conditions and grafting yield Aydinli, B; Tincer, T (Elsevier BV, 2001-02-01) Monomers of some water-soluble polymers; acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamide, N, N-dimethyl acrylamide and 1-vinyl-2 pyrrolidone, were grafted on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) powders by a direct grafting method in an aqueous medium in air. Inhibition of homopolymerisation was achieved by adding various concentrations of Fe2+ or Cu2+ ions. It was found that the degree of grafting increases linearly with dose till a gelation state is reached, and varies between 40 and 12% depending...
